The Norfolk Four. In 1997, the young wife of a Navy man is sexually assaulted, stabbed, & strangled to death in her apartment in Norfolk, Virginia. Over time, eight different men would be charged with the crime. Confessions were extracted from five of them and the remaining three were released as they had ironclad alibis. In a case where four of the five confessions don't match the crime scene or the physical evidence one would think more men would have been released. That is not what happened here. All five were tried and convicted. One of these men stood out. His DNA was found in the apartment and, unlike the other four, he had accurately described the assault and killing. He also insisted that he acted alone.
